Has kevin spacey ever not played the bad guy? he is really good at it

American Beauty? L.A. Confidential? Pay It Forward?

The Shipping News. that movie where he thought he was an alien.

Watched Horrible Bosses over the weekend
I give it a 7/10

Jennifer Aniston is smoking like usual and is very aggresive and near nude

Kevin Spacey really is a horrible boss

Just a funny movie overall, better than Bad Teacher.

+1 on all counts.

Colin Farrell's character held his own as a horrible boss. Farrell was certainly out of his element playing a middle aged weasel with a greasy comb-over but he made me laugh.

The banter between the three subordinate pals was great as well.

He wasn't that bad in Se7en..lol

K-Pax. And he was great in The Ref.

I watched "Kick-Ass" last night thinking it would be terrible, but I actually really liked it. Despite having McLovin as one of the co-stars, it actually had some serious moments, and the fight scenes, even though most were with a 10 year old girl, were very Kill-Bill-esque. I'd watch it again.

Agreed loved this movie as well.

Taking Bumblebee to the drive-in on Saturday to see a double feature: Transformers 3 and Super 8.

I've already seen TF3, but I liked it so much I wanted to take the car to see it...

I was looking forward to the G-on-G scene in Black Swan as my payout for suffering through such a horribly creepy chick flick involving ballet dancers (seriously, there were no helicopters or explosions ANYWHERE!), but alas, I was so creeped out by that scene that it totally lost it's entertainment value for me. The last twenty minutes abandoned all perspective on what was real and not.

Saw the documentary "Restrepo" and really liked it. It chronicles the hardships of soldiers in Allfraggedupistan, doing their job and doing it well.

Salutations to Sapper and Jeb.

That one surprised me too. I assumed it was going to be a Scott Pilgrim type movie geared towards teenagers.

Lost its entertainment value?!?! Yeah, you're gay.

I didn't like "Restrepo" just because it was too enfuriating. For all the crap they had to go through and then to just abandon the place. You hate to see any more casualties, but at the same time, leaving seems to invalidate the guys that had already been killed.

....it was based on a short story written by Philip K. Dick in 1954. ...

His name was Phil Dick? Really.

And obviously...

I'm wanting to see Transformers 3, but haven't made it yet

 

[goodal]

I heard last night T3 has already made $700mil. Is it that good?

That is pretty good. I had no idea it was doing so well. It surpasses the #2 Titanic at $600mil. Avatar is the #1 to beat at $760mil. (source: IMDB All-Time Box Office)

 

[willsee]

Not quite $700MM

Transformer 3 Total Gross $261,078,700

That seems more appropriate. I just haven't heard that it was busting the box office or anything.

I went to the noon showing of Transformers yesterday and it's the closest I've ever come to falling asleep in a movie theater.

I'm not sure how long I can be amused by watching one robot beat the hell out of another, but it's apparently far less than 2.5 hours.

I mean, I grew up with Transformers and always liked them. I also like conspiracy theory movies so the "dark side of the moon" theme sounded cool.

It just moved too slowly and the rockem sockem robots is stuff we've seen before. :2cents:

saw Harry potter this weekend. As closure of the movie storyline it was good. It left lots to be said if you followed the books. THey took quite a few liberties to get it to work and left out a LOT...but thats show biz.

Everyone has favorite parts that they want to see acted out and get disappointed when they are left out.

I really have very little interest in seeing the last movie. I thought the final book was terrible. I wouldn't have finished it had I not read the rest of the series already.

Watched Rango on Blu-Ray the other night. I really enjoyed it. You have to like things that are a little odd or off kilter to enjoy it, which is probably why I liked it more than most. Not much a movie for kids, though Junior liked it.

 

[wilheldp_PE]

I watched Get Him to the Greek over the weekend. It was surprisingly good, and had lots of laughs in it.

Oh man, so you're rubbing off on her?
